New method of 85Kr reduction in a noble gas based low-background detector

D. Yu. Akimov, A. I. Bolozdynya, A. A. Burenkov +4

Krypton-85 is an anthropogenic beta-decaying isotope which produces low energy backgrounds in dark matter and neutrino experiments, especially those based upon liquid xenon. Severa…

Measurement of the Drift Velocity and Transverse Diffusion of Electrons in Liquid Xenon with the EXO-200 Detector

200 Collaboration, J. B. Albert, P. S. Barbeau +84

The EXO-200 Collaboration is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay using a liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chamber. This measurement relies on modeling the transport of c…

An Optimal Energy Estimator to Reduce Correlated Noise for the EXO-200 Light Readout

200 Collaboration, C. G. Davis, C. Hall +84

The energy resolution of the EXO-200 detector is limited by electronics noise in the measurement of the scintillation response. Here we present a new technique to extract optimal s…
